Put on your best outfit and throw on those cowboy boots because the Clark County Fair and Rodeo is just around the corner.

The fair, which runs April 11-15, is one of the biggest events of the year in the Virgin Valley. Fairgoers can see everything from stunt shows and live musical acts to pig racing and fitting contests.

Brown's Amusements will be providing carnival midway services for attendees to indulge in, as well as more traditional fair activities amusement rides and food vendors, Clark County Fair president Kevin Willard said.

One of the big events is the rodeo, which spans five days.

"Our rodeo is continuously ranked in one of the top 25 rodeos in the nation," Willard said. "All of the cowboys you would see if you went down to (National Finals Rodeo), you'll see the same quality of rodeo here."

The Clark County Fair is the first of 23 stops for the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour, which is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association – the largest rodeo organization in America.

"There's a lot of rodeo events in the world, but the PRCA is the only body that has a tour quite like this," PRCA media coordinator Justin Shaw said. "Not only because it's the only one either; it is going to be something that the cowboys and fans are really going to like."

Five hundred rodeo athletes will travel the country to compete for more than $250,000 in prize money, and it starts at this year's Clark County Fair.

Due to Clark County stretching to encompass Las Vegas, thousands of people from that area commute to the fairgrounds in Logandale to enjoy the festivities.

"We're expecting around 80,000 people over the five days of the fair," Willard said. "So this has a huge impact on the local community to have that many people come and visit and see what this area is all about."

The fair will be at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo grounds at 1301 Whipple Ave. in Logandale. The hours are 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day but Sunday, when the fair closes at 9 p.m.
